AN EXTRA SESSION.

Congress Away Behind With Its Work.
WASHINGTON, February 26.-Despite the
wish of the president and of the members of
both houses of congress to avoid the neces-
sity for called session of the two houses, or
special session of the senate, the opinion is
entertained to-day that matters in respect to
the appropriation bills are rapidly drifting
into position, if indeed they have not al
ready reached it, which makes called $685.
sion inevitable.
Senator Allison says that in all his service
in both houses he has never known such a
state of backwardness in regard to the ap-
preparation bills, and for this condition of
things he declares that neither the senate
nor its committee on appropriations is in
any way responsible.
Senator Beck, member of the senate ap-
preparation committee, declares it is his be-
lief that it will be impossible during the re-
naming days OF this session to finish the
appropriation bills. The matter of appoint
ments and combinations contributes to the
influences which may produce called ses-
sion.

Ellis Headlight: The outlook for q
good wheat crop is not flattering through
ought the state at the present time. In
this part of the county some of our
farmers say that wheat is all killed out,
while others say that upon examination
q large majority of it win be found green
at the roots. 1t is impossible to form a
correct opinion from the present condi-
ton, as to what the crop will be. In
years gone by, a warm rain about the
first of april has produced such change
in the supposed dead wheat crop as to
surprise everybody.
